The state is now facing a $21 billion budget deficit.

The result for K-12 education? Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said schools may have to close seven days early this year, and tens of thousands of teachers will be laid off. And if you think it's easy to avoid such draconian cuts, then play this "budget challenge" game from a California nonprofit.
